Caitlin Bassett

Great netball player

Terrible journalist even by The West Australian standards

Spot on. This is what happens when people who don’t know what they’re talking about are given airtime to write about things they don’t know about. That has to be the most ridiculous article ever written.

Well 'the most' is a long bow in the current climate

Why Justin Langer could coach West Coast

The answer to the Eagles prayers could be right in front of them. The club should be looking beyond the small pool of AFL coaches to other sports, writes Caitlin Bassett.

Not great from Harley but geez I’m still scratching my head at how Cripps totally botched that run down tackle. Had him absolutely cold and failed to stick it.

We need this guy back on our books, quick smart!

I get it and all, but like, a minute or two had lapsed since Reid kicked the ball, should Williams have not re-picked Marshall back up by then if Reid was back in the stoppage trying to get the ball back? Why would a regular mid be sitting in the back 50 trying to man up the other teams ruck?

Would be more helpful to put in how many (what percentage) we're talking.

Otherwise some ignorant vAFL media type looks at it and says 'Why are WCE complaining? They've won more than anyone'. Point surely is to show how well the Vic teams do/don't do when away from their warm beds?

Number of interstate finals played would be an interesting comparison.

Number of interstate finals played would be an interesting comparison.

By my count, 33 for us, so a little better than 36% win rate. 32 for Sydney at 28%. Should get a shot for at least one more this year too.

Just for shits and giggles, Carlton are 0 from 8 (4 at the Gabba, 2 here, and 2 at Stadium Australia - they've never played an away final in Adelaide)

---

Counted out a few more:

Adelaide 8/22 (36%)
Brisbane 6/13 (46%)
GWS 5/11 (45%)
Dogs 5/10 ( )

...I'm gonna stop now...

Atmosphere was mental - Subi was absolutely heaving.

Do not miss Quarterbrain's commentary one bit, campaigner was a whiny sycophant.

You know your record is bad when you're behind Essendon in a finals category.

You know you're bad when you're the only team Essendon has beaten away in a final ️
